I just purchased one of those Zeiss scopes - damn nice scope for the money, I love Zeiss glass. I think it is one of the most "perfect" scopes in terms of magnification range and clarity for most shooting.

For me anyway, the .257 Roberts is a 250 yard deer/antelope rifle. Maybe a little further with 100 grain bullets handloaded at 3000fps. Even the Zeiss Conquest, current sale scope (1.8-5.5x38) at $299. would be fine, as would a 2.5-8x36 or 3-9x36 Conquest, Leupold VX-3 or Kahles. Whatever is available and is acceptable. I have used the Roberts as a prairie dog rifle but would rather use a .22 CF or .243 with a flatter trajectory.

You won't be able to mount the zeiss in low mounts. If thaqt is not an issue than no problem. I like my scopes as low as I can get them. Leupold and swaroski do this. My 257 select wears a 3x10 av just because I had it but a 2.5x8 is a perfect fit IMO.
